Recipes Tips
If you want to make the soup spicier, you can add a chopped jalapeno or serrano pepper to the onion and garlic mixture. You can also garnish the soup with additional toppings such as sour cream or sliced green onions.
For a thicker soup, you can puree a portion of the soup in a blender and add it back to the pot.
